At singles, LF System’s “Afraid To Feel” (Warner) registers its fourth week at #1 on 49k in chart sales, which include 5.4m streams. It’s also the most-downloaded song of the week.

This week’s highest new entry comes from Central Cee, whose ADA-distributed “Doja” debuts at #2, the Shepherd’s Bush rapper’s highest-charting single ever.
